A SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
Loss of Life on the New York
 Elevated R. R.

singular accident took place on the 3d avenue Elevated R. R., in New York on Tues day. Trains were blocked on account of 8 fire and large number of workmen started to walk to tho next station, 14th street. The foremost of the crowd about fifteen in num- Der, had nearly reached the station when the train started. In their anxiety to get on board of it they hurried toward the station as fast as possible. The fifteen men were bunch- ed in close group at the rear end of the platform as the head of the moving engine passed it. They could not get on the platform, and in their anxiety to save themselves from falling into the street they clutched each other convulsively, The narrow path on which they stood had no rail, the result was that in their effor s to escape the impending danger a sort of panic seemed to have seized them and ten fell to the Belgian pavement below Three of the ten struck on their heads and were al- most instantly killed. Five of the ten clutch ed the railing at the station and saved them selves from being precipitated with the rest. They eventually climbed up on the station, but were almost dead from the shock of the experience they had gone through.
 An investigation of the disaster shows that while the men were walking oh the plank walk beside the track, one of them attempted to get on the approaching train. He was unable to get on the car but clung to the outside, and his body striking the others, swept some of them from the walk into the street below. The others, seeing this, were panic-stricken, and in attempting to climb upon the platform crowd ed each other off the walk and they fell below. It is supposed that the first man was killed, as one of the injured men ill the hospital pointed to one of the dead men near him and said: soThere's the man that did this." The speaker immediately lost consciousness, and it Is im- possible to tell whether he knew exactly what caused the accident or whether he was already wandering in his mind. One of the injured died Tuesday night, making four killed. Of the injured it is believed that two men, at least will die

SOLD HIMSELF TO AN ARAB,
Remarkable Expedicnt Adopted by Dr. Junker to Get Out of Central Africa.

Not few people have wondered how civilization from Central Africa, sue ceeded in passing safely through the hostile tribes in the lake region. The mystery is explained at last and Dr.. Junker deserves credit for inventing an ingenious method of reducing danger to a minimum in traversing unfriendly parts of Africa.
 Before going far from Albert Nyanza he ascertained that there was no hope of his getting through the territory of the Waganda and one or two other hostile tribes without aid. If he was not mur- dered he would at least be detained as prisoner. Now and then an Arab trad ing caravan was starting for the coast, but the Arabs were afraid to appear to befriend him as they could not afford to incur the i'll will of the native kings.
 In this emergency the novel idea oc cured to pr. Junker to sell himself as a slave-to one of the Arab traders. A bargain was struck, and he ostensibly became the property of the trader. The contract stipulated that tho Arab, for the sum of 1 ,5O0 Austrian dollars. was to deliver the traveller alive at Zanzibar, where upon the presentation of the con tract the money would be paid to him by firm doing business there. It hap pencd that Dr. Junker had with him an order written in Arabic by his firm, au- thorizing him to make any desirable arrangements with the Arab traders of Central Africa.
 So Dr. Junker set out with his Arab caravan, which took him straightin to the lions den. or, in other words, into the chief town of M'wanga, the cruel despot of Uganda. The chief trader represented that bunker was not his iend or travel ing companion, but his slave. whom he had bought of negro tribe further north. In his capacity as q slave Dr. Junker passed muster Tn the court of King M'ganda, and he was per mitted to go in peace with his owner.
 Anyone who has seen likeness of Dr. bunker, taken since his return to Egypt, cannot failed to have been struck by the deep lines of care and anxiety that the past seven years of life in savage. wilds lave stamped upon his face Dr. Jun ker is very exceptional man, for he has wealth, and could, if he wished, lead a life of ease; but his devotion to scienc has led him to deny himself all the pleasures of civilization. and for years subject himself to remarkable hardships and deprivations.

The Earthqua' c in Japan.

A merchant of Boston received from distinguished American lady in Yoko- hama letter in which she gives full details of the fearful earthquake wh ch occurred there on the 18th of last month. The lady personal experience she thus graphically describes: :" e, meaning one of her hosts daughters and herself, ''went into the library, leaving the children in the nursery. In few min utes heard terrible noise. What is that 9 l asked of J. She replied. An earthquake.' l hen such shaking, groan- ing, screeching and cracking. q can hear it now.) l shrieked to J. to fly. oh "Oh can t! I can't ? Then the things went flying about the room. The next I remember was in the hall the panels of the door flying after us. J. says I took hold of her and dragged her out, but have no recollection of 1t; but I can never feel grateful enough to think I was permitted to do it, for just as we left the room terrible crash came. As soon as I could think shrieked for the children. I feared they had gone through with the wreck and were killed, but I soon had them all with me, unin- iurcd. You can, perhaps, Slightly imagine what had to go through from fright and responsibility. The house is massive brick one, three stories high. The chimney is very large, and this fell over, crashed through the roof, cutting the beams. and down into the chamber below, then into the library,
 carrying everything before it. Had we remained a second later we should have been killed. The next morning such a sight Nothing left of the attic rooms, and in the bedroom Q greater part of the floor, with brass bedstead hanging by its legs only over the chasm.n

A CONVICT EARNS HIS LIBERTY.
The Rewar of a Dred of Bravery and De-
 v0tion.
[Joliet Despatch in Chicago Tribune.]

[Joliet Despatch in Chicago Tribune.]
 W illiam Raab, convicted in 1880 of the murder of rival for the affections of girl of Danville, was released from prison to day. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for life, but his sentence was reduced by Gov. Hamilton to ten years for bravery in saving 8 prison of fcial's life. When Raab reached the Joliet prison he was placed in the har- ness shop, and worked side by side with the notorious bandit and desperado Frank Rande, the murderer of thirteen persons, who was also serving life's sentence for killing five persons at St. Elmo and Tilman, Ill. The two life convicts got along nicely together and worked at adjoining benches for nearly four years. March, 1884, Rande at tackled Capt. John Mcdonald, then deputy warden of the prison, as he was on his rounds inspecting the prison shops. Rande crushed the officers skull with Q poker. He then turned upon the deputy warden again with the intention of drawing knife across the fallen mans throat, but at this moment Raab sprang forward, and throwing his arms around Rande, lifted him high in the air and threw him half way across the shop. Raab then clutched Rande's throat. and would have surely choked the life out of him had not numbe of prison officials appeared upon the scene. The tumnlt in the shop by this time was very exciting. A hundred convicts with knives and hammers in their hands had gathered about Rande and Raab, yelling to Raab to kill Rande, or to let them have chance at him. One of the of ticials then ordered Raab to let Rande up and attempted to take Rande to the solitary" As they passed work bench Rande caught up hatchet, with which he aimed 8 blow at the officer, but the latter struck Rande crushing blow in the face with his heavy cane. This served to drlve Rande into per fectly insane rage and he struck right and left with hls hatchet, both at con victs and officers. Ed. Mcdonald, the deputy-v arden's brother, at this moment entered the shop door, revolver in hand, and, taking deliberate aim at Rande, shot hlm, the ball taking effect behind the ear, and he fell to the floor like a dead man. He was carried to the hos -pital, where it was found that he was not dead. After weeks treatment by the prison physician he was taken to the solitary and locked up. Rande never knew but that his blow had killed the deputy warden, and after remaining in the solitary few days he committed suicide by hanging himself.
 Deputy Warden Mcdonald, though in Q precarious condition for many months a ter the terrible assault on him. finally recovered sufficiently to resume his duties. Of course, William Raab, the life convict, was the hero of the day, for he undoubtedly saved McDonald's life, and as a reward for his brave act Gov. Hamilton commuted his sentence.
 Raab will return to Vermilion County and hurt up the girl of his heart, and may yet marry her. He has always claimed to be innocent of the murder which sent him to Joliet.
